Mentor Awards

The annual PLEN Mentor Awards honor women leaders who have a proven commitment to training the next generation of women public policy leaders. Each year, PLEN alumnae, students, speakers, and supporters join us to support the amazing work of women leaders who are making huge strides in the public policy arena while also helping those coming up the ladder behind them.

Join PLEN students and supporters on March 13, 2018 for the 2018 PLEN Mentor Awards! The annual PLEN Mentor Awards reception celebrates those who have shown an exceptional commitment to our mission of increasing the number of women in public policy leadership positions. The event also generates financial support for all our programming, allowing us to bring hundreds of women from colleges and universities across the country to Washington, DC each year. As more women participate in PLEN seminars, we hope to inspire them to pursue careers and leadership opportunities that mirror the women who we will honor. Our alumnae go on to hold key positions in state or federal agencies, Congress, the White House, corporate institutions, as well as non-profits that address pressing social needs.

PLEN congratulates the 2018 PLEN Mentor Award Honorees for their outstanding commitment to mentoring the next generation of women public policy leaders.

Thank you to our 2018 sponsors!
